Any collection XML mappings map an attribute that contains a heterogenous collection of objects to multiple XML elements. Unlike composite collection XML mappings, the referenced objects may be of different types (including String), and do not need to be related to each other through inheritance or a common interface. The corresponding object attribute should be generic enough for all possible application values. Note that each of the referenced objects (except String) must specify a default root element on their descriptor.

Any collection mappings are useful with the following XML schema constructs:

• any
• choice
• substitution groups

Setting the XPath: TopLink XML mappings make use of XPath statements to find the relevant data in an XML document. The XPath statement is relative to the context node specified in the descriptor. The XPath may contain node type, path, and positional information. The XPath is specified on the mapping using the setXPath method. Note that for XML Any Collection Mappings the XPath is optional.

The following XPath statements may be used to specify the location of XML data relating to an object's name attribute:

XPath	Description
contact-methods	The name information is stored in the contact-methods element.
contact-methods/info	The XPath statement may be used to specify any valid path.
contact-methods[2]	The XPath statement may contain positional information. In this case the contact information is stored in the second occurrence of the contact-methods element.

Mapping an element of type xs:anyType as an Any Collection Mapping:

XML Schema
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xsd:element name="customer" type="customer-type"/>
<xsd:complexType name="customer-type">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="contact-methods" type="xsd:anyType"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:element name="address">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="street" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="city" type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="phone-number" type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:schema>


Code Sample
XMLAnyCollectionMapping contactMethodsMapping = new XMLAnyCollectionMapping();
contactMethodsMapping.setAttributeName("contactMethods");
contactMethodsMapping.setXPath("contact-methods");

Method Detail

buildBackupClone

public void buildBackupClone(java.lang.Object clone,
                    java.lang.Object backup,
                    org.eclipse.persistence.internal.sessions.UnitOfWorkImpl unitOfWork)

INTERNAL: Clone the attribute from the clone and assign it to the backup.

Specified by:

buildBackupClone in class DatabaseMapping

buildClone

public void buildClone(java.lang.Object original,
              org.eclipse.persistence.internal.identitymaps.CacheKey cacheKey,
              java.lang.Object clone,
              java.lang.Integer refreshCascade,
              org.eclipse.persistence.internal.sessions.AbstractSession cloningSession)

INTERNAL: Clone the attribute from the original and assign it to the clone.

Specified by:

buildClone in class DatabaseMapping

buildCloneFromRow

public void buildCloneFromRow(org.eclipse.persistence.internal.sessions.AbstractRecord databaseRow,
                     org.eclipse.persistence.internal.queries.JoinedAttributeManager joinManager,
                     java.lang.Object clone,
                     org.eclipse.persistence.internal.identitymaps.CacheKey sharedCacheKey,
                     ObjectBuildingQuery sourceQuery,
                     org.eclipse.persistence.internal.sessions.UnitOfWorkImpl unitOfWork,
                     org.eclipse.persistence.internal.sessions.AbstractSession executionSession)

Description copied from class: DatabaseMapping

INTERNAL: A combination of readFromRowIntoObject and buildClone.

buildClone assumes the attribute value exists on the original and can simply be copied.

readFromRowIntoObject assumes that one is building an original.

Both of the above assumptions are false in this method, and actually attempts to do both at the same time.

Extract value from the row and set the attribute to this value in the working copy clone. In order to bypass the shared cache when in transaction a UnitOfWork must be able to populate working copies directly from the row.

buildCloneFromRow in class DatabaseMapping
